Let me hope too that 2026 is the year I actually make an effort to find an agent (because I'm acting as if I'll randomly find them inside my closet one day) and get to draw more picture books. #childrensillustrator #literaryagent #kidlit

So cute, Hajar!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day My name is Hajar, I'm a children's illustrator and character designer. I love to work on character driven stories and many more. I'm wrapping up two projects now so I'm open to new ones 😊. I don't have an agent... YET😜 ahajarart.wixsite.com/hajarart

When I'm working with #authors on children's books I'm super focused that I find it hard to work on personal art. Like this one it took me ages to finish haha, I'd draw a line every now and then 😊 #kidlitart #picturebooks #kidlit #childrensbooks #kidlitillustration #kidsbooks #literaryagents

#KidLitCritiqueDay was a good experience for me. I was lucky to win a very great insightful critique from @terriclemmons.bsky.social She was wonderful and kind, and gave me her perspective to help improve my Story. Really grateful. And thanks to @kidlitjenny.bsky.social for her time and efforts 😍😊

So cute!

I'm so glad I got the chance to send my applications for #PBRisingstars This past week.

I fell in love 💕 I'll definitely draw these two again Btw I'm Hajar, character designer, children's illustrator and aspiring writer, I'm not represented by any agent and I'm working towards it☺️ #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #picturebookart #kidlit

I want to write smart books. Some funny to make the kids laugh 😸 and some spooky to scare the heart out of kids 🙀. That would be the perfect balance for children 😁. #kidlit #PB

Mind blowing 💗💗 #kidlit

I have been part of many different communities during the last 10 years, but I have never seen a community that's more welcoming, beautiful, kind and humble than the #kidlit community, I'm genuinely impressed and I feel warm around all these sweet people.

Having a wish to taste a fish is achievable. But going on a fishing trip with a bear + big hunger & very little patience = a fishy disaster. In Rush's Fishy Day, Rush, a little boy, realized that fishing was just another word for waiting, so he had to find ways to make it fun. #SkyPitch #L #kidlit🎣

I'm excited to have some fun and ready to know more PB friends😁🤗😍

If you have picture book agents or unagented #KidLit authors following you on other platforms, I encourage you to let them know about #SkyPitch. Let's help show them that Bluesky is a GREAT place for a picture book pitch party! Read @boringstorybook.com's post below for more info.

I just realized I never drew a dog, weird! #InternationalDogDay

my entry for the #scbwidrawthis prompt: Backpack #scbwiillustrators #characterdesign #picturebooks #scbwi #digitalart #cartoons

Everytime I revised, I felt different ways about my story, either I wasn't satisfied or unsure. but each time the story gets better, now I reached the point where I'm so satisfied and I was thinking even if no agent took it, I'm so proud and excited to not give up on it and self publish it. #kidlit

Well, I still have to find an agent first to leave them, too early for me I guess😜 #writingcommunity #kidlit

I just learned about character agency from Rachael Stein on a SCBWI Webinar, it was very helpful and informative for me. Time for some revisions :) #kidlit #PB

A good reminder for writers (and illustrators). #kidlit #amwriting #amquerying

How is it that hard to find a #PB critique group!! In which island you find those???? #kidlit

I heard it's #internationalcatday ! Well this is my owner 😜

New day, first post on bluesky. Hi everyone! I draw and write for the joy of children #kidlit , I'm also a Character Designer for #animation. In general anything that makes children and myself happy 😊 I'm looking forward to make some friends in here 😄
